I've always been surprised that Pi Day is primarily evangelized by so many math / science / CS folks, when I would think it would be precisely these folks who hate the MM/DD/YYYY format. ISO format soothes my soul like a warm slice of apple pie with ice cream.

Pi Day is the same in Drunk Endian (US) and Big Endian (ISO Standard) formats (March 14th). It's different in Little Endian (Traditional European) format.

Yeah this thought mainly occurred to me when a big hubbub was made about 3.1415 day (3/14/15, or MM/DD/YYYY).

And, in the ISO format, when omitting the year, it's still 3-14.
